I've been waiting for Greg Olsen to have a breakout game this season...and I hope I don't have to wait any longer than this Sunday. The Redskins defense overall is pretty bad but they are especially bad against the TE. They've allowed about a TD a game to the TE over the course of the season, including two to Heath Miller of the Steelers last week (a nice fantasy day).

What happened to featuring the TE in this offense? Get back to your roots Chud, feed the ball to Greg Olsen.

We fed the ball to Olsen in the Atlanta game and still lost.

The problems with the team are not coaching, play calling, offense, the quarterback, the defense, not the special teams etc.. At least they are not any one of those things alone.

The problems right now are mostly mental. When its crunch time, we make mistakes in several phases of the game. It was that way in several games last year, and its becoming more and more prevalent. If Ron Rivera can't figure out a way to turn it around, then perhaps he should be fired. Not because he has done that bad of a job, but because we need some mental adjustments.

The offense also put up 28 points that day, the second highest total all season...but Atlanta's defense is nothing to get excited about.

True, but the problem is we are losing each game by a few points due to mistakes on offense, or defense, or special teams, or coaching, or some combination thereof. The only thing thats going to fix it is to quick making so many mistakes during crunch time.

Olsen's not been targeted as much lately as he was the first few games of the season.

I was going to start a thread about this. Not just against the Redskins, but in general.

More running, more TE passes (short/intermediate passes) Just to keep things moving. I mean, it wasn't as prominent last weekend, but most this season the passes are long developing down field passes all the time. We need more move'n the chains" style passes. And I think that's where our TE's can help out more.

Here's hope'n.

Olsen needs to get the ball more. I think the only positive thing that could come out of losing steve smith is that the offense would involve Olsen and the other TEs more

We are not gonna lose Steve, obviously you haven't seen the recent threads.

      Bryce Young May Be The Answer

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      No one is asking him to be Tom Brady. They're just asking him to be as good if not better than Cooper Rush, Jimmy Garoppolo and Carson Wentz. We'd like Young to be better than Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, but we're not even asking for that. No matter how you cut it he's going to be considered a bust for what was given up for him. He should be outpacing Cam Newton, Jake Delhomme and Kerry Collins game for game in their careers. He should at least be challenging the clutch level of Brady, Mahomes, Stafford, Goff, Garoppolo, Burrow, Hurts and Purdy. Remember that's based on the draft capital given up for Young, and not the extremely low bar Young has actually set for himself.

      So Kyler Murray gets praised as the best little QB...

      By CRA · Posted

      Even if you cherry pick Bryce post benching and ignore everything else and project it out over a full season….. there is no statistical  argument Kyler has ever been worse.   I’m no Murray fan as I agree he is more athlete than QB.   And I’m open to Bryce improving and support us continuing to develop him as this point.

      We need LBs--build the roster from the bottom up.  On offense, we have Coker who has been huge...if you fill your weaknesse without having to use free agent $$$ or draft picks--win win.
